Course Description

In this course, you will learn about Scrum, an Agile framework primarily used for developing and maintaining complex projects. It is characterized by three primary roles, four ceremonies, seven artifacts, and 12 rules. This course will explore how you can bring these principles to real-world projects, and their role in managing and delivering valuable products and services. Scrum can help you continuously adapt and modify your project to stakeholder demands, which could positively impact the quality of an organization’s products.

Scrum was originally created to manage complex, innovative projects where the requirements are not fully known at the beginning of development. It is commonly used to manage projects that consist of multiple interdependent teams, such as developing software and other digital products. For some, it may be the perfect tool for managing uncertain projects, especially when the projects involve new technologies, novel markets, new customers, and highly competitive environments.
